Mall gears up for Xmas

IT IS that time of the year again ... the time to share and the time to give. This year, you are bound to have a bedazzled Christmas when you visit Malaysia's first ‘pedestrianised' lifestyle shopping centre, the Curve.

From Nov 27 to Dec 27, shoppers will be spellbound by the gold and copper decorations, set amid traditional Roman pillars and columns. To further elevate the ambience, the Centre Court will be decorated with spectacular Christmas trees adorned with colourful lights and ornaments.

Gold and copper hues: These dazzling Yuletide decorations are already up at the Curve.

Complementing these decorations will be numerous stalls exhibiting a variety of products and services. These include beauty products from The Bodyshop and L'Occitane, toys from Little Haven and lingerie from B-Ha. For that special Christmas gift, shoppers can choose from a variety of products by ETC. Those who want to indulge in some snacks while they stroll along the dazzling display of festive decorations will enjoy the offerings from Famous Amos, Sweet Memory or Yokomon Ice Cream.

The allure of Christmas is not confined to the Centre Court alone, as the Fashion Walk will be featuring popular brands such as August Eight and Elements for shoppers who want to update their look this festive season. To complete that new look, one can also enjoy the beauty products offered by Elianto.

HSL Circuit City on the other hand will be offering a variety of electrical appliances. Those in the mood for some Christmas tunes will definitely enjoy browsing through the various music CDs from Rock Conner while those who prefer gadgets should head to Ascend Zone. Shoppers who plan to redecorate their home for Christmas will enjoy the home décor items from Living Quarters at the Fashion Court.

Gift-hunting will also be made easy as there will be vendors offering Christmas-related items at the Street Market.

As Christmas is typically associated with snow, the Curve will once again be giving its shoppers the rare opportunity to witness falling snowflakes at the Piazza which will be decorated like a lush garden.

The Christmas experience will be further enhanced with the melodious La Voice Carollers. From Rudolph The Red-nosed Reindeer to Jingle Bells, this talented bunch will surely warm the heart of every shopper.

As Christmas is a time to celebrate with your family, the Curve will be organising a gift-wrapping workshop where parents can learn how to creatively wrap presents with their kids.

There will also be ‘The North Pole' Christmas scene contest where kids will need to use their imagination to create the North Pole using various art tools.

During the month-long campaign, shoppers will be able to enjoy attractive promotions at the Curve. Those who spend RM100 and above in a single receipt will receive a Christmas Booklet containing attractive buy-one-free-one deals as well as discounts of up to 70% and cash vouchers for F&B and fashion from participating stores.

Those eligible for the booklet will also receive a free photo opportunity by Fuji Xerox and a contest form that will give shoppers the chance to win a mystery gift valued up to RM10,000.
